bad luck is the term people use to describe a seemingly unfavorable situation.
You can look at it from a Hindu perspective:
Bad luck is the result of bad karma. The universe is entirely moralistic, but a bit slow to process justice. Your suffering is the result of misdeeds from a previous life. Likewise the good that happens to others is the result of their good deeds.
Or you can take the more Buddhist approach to karma.
To the Buddha karma is impersonal. Your deeds set the wheel of karma in motion. If people keep the wheel spinning then the energy continues. An angry man yells at another, who goes home and yells at his wife, who yells at their son, who kicks the dog. The dog did nothing wrong but he suffers from the wheel of karma that each person kept spinning. If just one of them had stopped the wheel then the dog would not have been kicked. Avoid responding to wickedness done to you by doing wickedness to another. That will end bad karma and that will end bad luck.
Yes on the lack of bad luck, no on the lack of randomness.
Until you come up with unified physics, or you are albert einstein’s reincarnation, it’s awful tough to dispute quantum mechanics. All of the variables are not known. That’s just the point
Luck is a fundamentally human concept. It comes from our tendency to remmer “remarkable” things and forget commonplace things.
You remember when you forget your umbrella because you get wet…the days you do bring your umbrella fade into obscurity. Thus afew times forgetting an umbrella under the same circumstances can outwiegh remembering your umbrella a lot of the time.
agreed.
Yes I am ablerts reincarnation actually. Just my damn brain isn’t quite so good this time round! I blame my parents… and mobile phones…and the strong cider I drank as a kid… 
(Is “all there is, is consciousness.” a unified physics? )
Not known to us, from our current perspective, maybe…?
DALE
Shroedinger’s equation, i.e. the porinciple of wuantum mechanics in a nutshell says that you can only know the position or momentum of a particle, not both. SO at the subatomic level there is clear randomness and uncertainty.
If I’m the sole winner of 150 million dollar lottery, what would you call it?
A hypothetical situation.
No! Extremely “hypothetical” of my winning is WHEN i buy the ticket. But having won is no-longer hypothetical.
So the question stands since it’s claimed there is no such thing as luck - then what is it?
I think the example of A with an umbrella and B without, on a rainy day, is merely a matter of convenience and inconvenience respectively. Luck and bad luck in life are big things, sometimes they can define our whole entire life, which is the reason why I believe that luck in life has to do with much in our previous life, the way we behaved, took action and made decisions. Likewise, we encounter luck or bad luck in this life. That is also the reason why most of us don’t see much luck in life because we merely care about ourselves most of the time, I’m not suggesting that is wrong, that’s ok, but then if we don’t go out of our way and with good intentions too, to help someone in a major way in his life then our chances of encountering luck in our next life will become minimal, not that people should help others for this reason because that would be stupid. I was just brainstorming as to why we all don’t encounter much luck in life, which is because we mostly think about ourself and our own interests. Whatever…
Dude…there is always 1 winning ticket. if someone buys that ticket then they win. The probablilty of there being a winning ticket is 100% tyhe probability of you buying that ticket is 1/millions. You call it luck, but it’s just cold hard rules of probaboloty, my friend.
Nice,
Very nice statement tmminionman. Made me think! what you just said. Although I began to wonder that if there are rules to probablilty or maybe laws. Then what would happen if something were to break or bend these laws of probability? Would that then be luck?
Of course I do not even know much about the laws or probability myself, but now I am sure going to have a read over some website.
Hmmm! Please dont get angry over my question. Just interested. I am beginning to enjoy reading the post on this subject.
The Lotto 649 has about 50 numbers and if you look at the amount of numbers you must choose, then their combinations together with the others, i.e. all possible combinations together amounts to about 1.3 billion combinations my dear, what in heaven’s name is a mere million? If the total no. of numbers are not reduced to at least half, then in my view getting a lottery ticket is a waste of money. But the way I see it is this, if the number to select from is that high that it amounts to about 1,300,000,000 combinations, then it means that it has been deliberately chosen so, so that my chances of winning a lottery is nil or close to nil. This means that it’s a scam and I’d be a FOOL to buy a lottery ticket! 
But think about this dude! Yeah! its an astronomically remote probability. But if that probability is “crashing” into me, ME! not someone else then I’ll be prone to ponder how I’m going to make up for it all in the next life! 
Ok, first of all, only I’m allowed to point out technical shortcomings in these posts. That’s in the forum rules…
The magnitude is irrelevant in this case, billions, millions…whatever. Pint is the state uses the lottery as a tax…on the mathematically challenged. and technically, 1.3 billion is 1300 millions. note i specifically specified “millions” not “million”. It was supposed to be a clever cover for my gross ignorance of the lotto 649,but it obviously came off as a typo (ardly a suprise in my posts)
